Week 8 brings the New York Jets back home to face the Atlanta Falcons. Speaking of which, the Falcons have lost their three past games against the other teams in the AFC East. That’s right, the Falcons have lost to the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots. Can the Jets join the club? They sure can if they consistently run the football against a Falcons defense that can’t stop opposing running backs. This bodes well for fantasy football owners that are debating whether to start or sit running back Matt Forte.
The Jets have three running backs that are different but bring a unique dimension to their offense.
